@nicoisz are you just wanting to build for Android, or do you need help getting the iOS builds set up?

K. This issue is about the error with Doctor and Android, but we can get you fixed up.
NS doctor lumps a whole bunch of issues in with this error.
Did you do this step?

sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
Then

arch -x86_64 pod install

[nicoisz]

when i run those commands i get
[!] No `Podfile' found in the project directory.

[EdJones]

k. Try this:
NS doctor tests for problems with CocoaPods by downloading a test folder, and then installing it.
Unfortunately, it's not very specific about what it finds. Lots of things can happen, but all it reports is:
"WARNING: There was a problem with CocoaPods". Bleh.

To fix the problem, you need to know the error. Heres how to get it:

1. Find where npm packages are globally installed:

$ npm list -g | head -1
# /Users/denkan/.nvm/versions/node/v12.18.2/lib

2. Find @nativescript/doctor folder.

$ cd /Users/denkan/.nvm/versions/node/v12.18.2/lib
$ cd node_modules/nativescript/node_modules/@nativescript/doctor
$ cd resources/cocoapods-verification/

3. Extract the cocoapods.zip and try install

$ unzip cocoapods.zip
$ cd cocoapods
$ pod install

Also, what does your ruby version look like?
$ruby --version

[nicoisz]

i search for those folders, and i dont have it.
node_modules/nativescript/node_modules/@nativescript/doctor
resources/cocoapods-verification/

this is the ruby version
ruby 2.7.3p183 (2021-04-05 revision 6847ee089d) [x86_64-darwin20]

[EdJones]

I think you followed instructions, and installed a new ruby; when the system Ruby would have worked. The X86 is clue.
I'm not at Mac now, but you'll need a ARM64 Ruby.
Mine is ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.arm64e-darwin20] which came from the factory.

@nicoisz Here is the zip file that belongs in that folder: cocoapods.zip
If you do a pod install after putting it there, you should get your real issue.
